Drove my M3 off a curb

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
So I drove off my m3 off a curb yesterday and I felt the impact real hard. (No bounce from the suspension straight impact) I pulled over and found out I have scraped the battery pack on the front passenger side of the car. Does any one know if I should take the car to Tesla and get it checked out? Thanks to everyone.

Nah, it's fine. You were fortunate to have landed on the jacking point so the only damage is a little scratched paint and some scuffs to the plastic trim piece.

Give it a little spritz of black spray paint to prevent it from developing a rusty appearance and no one will ever know this happened. That region gets scuffed up on all cars by jacks and road debris anyway.

Thanks man that is good to hear. Yesterday was a fuxxed day. Later on after driving off the curb. I took a right turn and hit a curb again while I was turning. The car was almost went flying and my head hit the window. surprisingly the rim didn’t crack, just some scrapes and dents. Dam Tesla has some good quality stuff. Bad luck yesterday but I guess also good luck? Thanks again for the reply.

Yeah...you are fine.

I've done it plenty of times. Not off curbs, but Chicago presents plenty of opportunities with potholes. and horrible railroad tracks.
 
Another incident today !!! This women just hit my car while backing up. I got off the car to see and damage. Nothing major so I just told her all good. And she just ****ing left. No a word. I’m so pissed.

Strongly recommend you park your car in an enclosed garage for a couple days and lock the door . 🤪

You are the reason while cycling I don't trust motorists. Not that they are trying to run me over, but people having "fuxxed" moments. Don't get your rims fixed, something tells me those won't be the last curbed marks on your rims.

I understand you. It’s like the same when you see ‘bad drivers’ it’s not they are all bad drivers, it’s just that we are human and human will make mistakes.

By the way I was gonna fix these but my mom ****ed the other rims while parking lmao. I’m not gonna fix it entill she stops driving it. 😂
